I remember playing hopscotch in the school yard at breaktime in France. We had a two-hour lunch break in the 1960's in France and that game was for girls only! We went on playing for days ands days and when we got sick and tired we would play cowboys and Indians with boys but not in school because we had separated playing yards. We would play that game on thursdays, our free day out of school. Hide and seek was a popular game too but I don't know the other games. My parents told me the ” Top and Whip” game was played in France too in the the 30's but I wasn't born then! Thanks kids. Great idea and job! Marie-France.
